This week’s goings-on:
“Prestwich Area Partnership deplores the recent unwarranted interference in the management of Prestwich Area Partnership and believe the unnecessary rotation of Area Partnership Managers at this time will undermine the effectiveness of the Partnership at a crucial time.We insist that any future changes be introduced only after full and proper consultation with the Area Partnership.”
This was how we expressed our dissatisfaction with the way the Tory Deputy Leader allowed the Prestwich Local Area Partnership (PLAP) Manager to be shipped to Whitefield, and her opposite number be shipped to us.
Disguised under an “Officer” decision (it had to be approved by the Dep. Leader - Yvonne Creswell) there was no reason, no justifiable cause, and no sense to the move. Both employees were against it, all the “Partners” of Bury Council were against it, all the Councillors were against it, and yet Yvonne Creswell did it because she wanted to (or was it because she wanted the Tory-controlled Whitefiled LAP to get some of the Carran O’Grady magic?)
Anyway - welcome to Rose De, the new PLAP Manager - I’m sure she’ll do a great job and work very hard.
Today is Farmer’s Market day, and terrible weather probably won’t stop the people of P/w coming to it, it may just encourage them not to hang about too long! I’ll be there later this afternoon.
Last week (w/c 11.1.10) was EET on Tuesday (more later); casework on Wednesday; Conservation Group Thursday; helping a friend with her CV on Friday. This week was Planning Tuesday, Bolton LibDem Exec Wednesday (couldn’t make it due to work); PLAP on Thursday; Footy on Fri followed by a few scoops. I missed Pizza & Politics last night, but delivered a bottle of plonk for the raffle that didn’t occur. I was at a friend’s 30th B/d bash in town. Town was rammed, with no parking, roads a nightmare & people drunk everywhere (United won 4-0; X-Factor or something on at the Arena; other stuff going on incl. roadworks!)
More catch-up later…
have your say
